I bought two 1 hour lessons for £24 and called them as their website was playing up when I tried to book. They're closed for lessons just now but asked me not to buy anymore and just say to the pro the price I payed on the first lesson and he'll honour it for booking lessons direct with them because they make fuck all from gorupon. It should have been £30 for the two via group on so £15 an hour lesson is really good. Will probably try to book 10 or 12 lessons and go every second week or something. Did they help you aye?

Lessons are great but it’s taking/having the time to practice what you’re taught is key to improving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing about twice a week just now but that will diminish over winter when there is less light so I can't play early mornings and don't have much free time in the evenings due to the kids. I'm hoping to get to the range more over winter just to keep my hand in but I'm probably at the busiest stage of my life right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen my handicap go from 8 to 13 so probably not the best guy to give advice but I’m a great advocate of just taking a wedge and a 7 iron to the range.

There is a reason for this question that I will post. Before I heard the reason I said 7-8 out of 10 from 6ft. I would love to find the article relating to an experiment - it was in a magazine I read in a hospital waiting room about 15yrs ago. Basically it was an experiment to determine at what distance does putting skill and luck cross over. It was conducted with a mechanical device replicating identical putts and measuring ball spread over various distances, green speeds, weather, etc. It determined that after approximately 12' on a typical PGA green, the natural microvariations of grass, wind, ball, club, etc - seen a deviation from the "perfect" putting line that means fewer than 50% of perfect putts would drop. I'm sure the term "perfect", was based on the statistical average line, thus the line a putt would average the middle of the hole.

I kinda like the fact that's he's doing and thinking of every possible thing that can potentially improve his game. He's certainly went all in! I can see some other players maybe doing the same. His short game was really off though although it's a tough course and tough conditions. If he sorts out his short game he could become unbeatable!

What is putting me off is the initial outlay. I still have my clubs but reckon I'd need a new set of irons and a driver. Stick with your old driver, you won't see much gains with a new one unless its ancient or you don't have any confidence with it :D I bought 2 new drivers and an extra shaft during lock down. Couldn't get on with either (Titleist 917 D3, i developed a massive fade borderline slice and Taylormade R15 only gave me an extra 5 yards but not consistently) As for irons (again lock down purchase) i picked up a set of Titleist 710 CB for £100 of off eBay, looked as thought hey had only been used a dozen times or so. Missed the 20% vouchers that were floating around at the time, theres 2 golf club sellers that get included in these vouchers (clubhousegolf and affordable golf IIRC) I was coming from a set of Wilson Di11s with huge cavities but have always been able to strike the ball cleanly, i just don't take deep divots.

SkylineBlue 23,347 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Been to the range a few times this week and what a difference it makes just focusing on your swing and not worrying about a score. Hitting long, straight drives much more consistently than I ever have been and it's the same with my irons. Im taking a PW too to shoot for the greens on the range and I'm getting much more consistent in throwing the ball into the air rather than thinning it. I've been focusing on a tip I seen McIlroy give which is just focus on keeping your club face parallel to the ball for the first half of your back swing and its made the world of difference.
